An Ever-Present Danger. The work of an observatory director and his' sesistants must at best be something of a thank less task. If they anticipate the weather correctly for twenty BAC cassive days they receive next to no credit. It ja counted their business acomiately to forecast re- sults without the slightest mis take. I once in a way, the weather develops an unexpected kink and fails to follow the course toward which all anticipations point, they are met with growls.

Japan and the Dutch Celoales,
We are aware that aspirations for the extension of Japanese in- fluence to the Netherlanda Indies have been ventilated in the Ohauvinistic Press of Japan, just asite extension has been advocated in many other directions, as, for example, in the Philippines, in Indo-China and even in India. Quite recently, in fact, a Japanese article came under our notics which represented the Batavis Government as being alarmed by recent Japanese shipping and commercial Botivities in Nether lands India, and apprehensive leat Japan should "swallow up
Da'ch territories in the South Sess." The writer darkly hinted that even in military and naval ciroles in Japan great attention is being paid to the South Seas but the only proof of this quoted by him was the fact that the GoT- ernment had caused the Malay | language to be taught in the Foreign Language School of Tokyo, and that naval officeta were attending the school for the purpose of learning the language!

Discussing the all-important question of how best to supply the necessary amount of muni tions for our men at the Front, a writer in the current issue of Engineering to hand makes Bome pertinent observationsi When every owner of works, and each member of his staff, has done all that is possible, success can only follow if willing labour can be obtained, Both the Army and the manufacturers are crying oat for more men, and both are disappointed at the response. Yet, says the writer referred to, when. one walks the streets there still seem to he men to spare who might very well be at the front while in the works the old biokeru ngs about demarcation of work and trade union rules occupy an altogether undue amount of the manager's time, and bar the gaten to many who would willingly enter. It remains to be seon whether the new committes appointed by Lord Kiteboner " to take the necessary steps to provide such additional labour

Its is quito certain that there ja the legal power to enforce their re- commendations, however drastio they may be, and to sweep ande all those who seek to clog the wheels of industry in favou particular sections of the munityulda
